Help from Mumsnet plz - Career Advice during coronavirus

[user1480092643]

Hello
I am a marketing temp/ PAYE contractor in the publishing sector for the last few years. Before that I worked in the charity sector. Due to the current circumstances I find myself unemployed as my last assignment finished at the start of March and many applications I have made are now on hold.
I need to find ways forward during this time. I need to find the best way to improve my chances to get back to employment.
Please can anyone recommend a good professional course? I am currently looking at doing an CIM. Or things I can do online for a bit of income. Or if you have changed sectors as a marketing professional and how you did it? Thanks x
P.S I am living with my partner who is shielding so unfortunately any work such as supermarket etc is off the table for now

As a former CIM lecturer, I would recommend the CIM courses! Which you can do online. I used to work in Marketing many many years ago and doing the CIM qualms enabled me to then cross over to become a marketing lecturer. I still work in education but in a different field.

Thanks @yellredder. I had a chat today with one of the team at CIM and I am going to start with the programme.

@user1480092643 - brilliant! Enjoy and good luck! I did mine a million years ago when it was all exams - and now I really love an exam!
